  2. Takeaways from Tuesday’s primaries New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani waded into Democratic House primaries to boost three progressives over establishment-backed candidates. Read more. What to know: All three of Mamdani’s candidates won Tuesday, defeating two incumbents and essentially ensuring that two self-described democratic socialists will be elected to Congress in their deep blue districts. The mayor said it was a question of electing “better Democrats” who would “put working people back at the heart of politics.” RELATED COVERAGE ➤ Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg loses in New York City congressional primary The primary elections, in photos Alan Wilson wins South Carolina Republican governor runoff after Trump hedges his bet on race Ben McAdams defeats progressives in Utah Democratic primary as he seeks a return to US House Federal judge dismisses Justice Department lawsuit seeking detailed voter data from Maryland Georgia’s QR codes for counting votes will remain for midterms
  3. June 24, 2026 By Sam Sifton Good morning from North Dakota, where I’m on a reporting trip with our architecture critic, Michael Kimmelman, to visit the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora. I’ll tell you more about it in the coming days. For now, know that it’s windy and beautiful here on the buttes, green yet Mars-like, with pheasants exploding out of the grass. Bison for breakfast? I think so, yes. As for the news: Progressive candidates had a strong showing in New York’s primaries. The Senate voted to check President Trump’s war powers. And there’s more below. We’ll start today, though, with our mail. President Trump and Elon Musk in the Oval Office last year. Haiyun Jiang for The New York Times Your questions, answered A perk of writing this newsletter is that we get to hear directly from our readers. You all send us great questions, and we’ve gone out to find answers for them. You’ll see some of those below, and more published in the coming days. Please: Send more questions, so we can keep this going. When Trump became president again, there was a period of intense activity by his DOGE agency. Are they operating still, and if so, to what effect? — Nigel Ashton, Wirral, England Emily Badger, a reporter with The Upshot who worked on a major investigation into DOGE, answers: The executive order creating DOGE called for it to end this July 4, but it effectively wound down last fall with a whimper, having saved the government little money. Some DOGE workers have transitioned to permanent roles within the government. And the administration is still pursuing some of the same goals, including with a fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance. But DOGE as we knew it is no more. We’ll still be talking about it for a while, though, as the consequences of its cuts (and related lawsuits) may linger for years. I’ve read that Social Security benefits could be cut by more than 20 percent circa 2032. Is anyone in Washington doing something about this, or is the sentiment “que será, será”? — Barbara Nawrocki, New London, Connecticut Tara Siegel Bernard, who has reported extensively on the future of Social Security, answers: You’re right: Social Security’s annual trustee report warned earlier this month that the program’s longstanding shortfall had worsened. At the end of 2032, the trust fund that pays retiree and survivor benefits would be depleted, and incoming revenue would be enough to pay only 78 percent of benefits, which translates into a 22 percent benefit cut. Several proposals exist to shore up the program, either through tax increases, benefit cuts or some combination therein. But such a crucial program requires a fix that garners public and bipartisan support — a challenge in these polarized times. But the report appeared to inspire some movement. Two members of Congress recently introduced a bill that would create an independent commission, with members appointed by both parties, tasked with finding “commonsense solutions.” And Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Moreno said they’re working on a bipartisan plan of their own. Vincent Alban/The New York Times What or who decides gasoline prices? The price of a barrel of oil doesn’t always seem to track with prices at the pump. — Kate Eaton, Ann Arbor, Michigan Emmett Lindner, a business reporter who has been covering the recent rise and fall of gas prices, answers: There’s a saying about the cost at the pump: up like a rocket, down like a feather. Essentially, the price of gasoline shoots up when oil jumps, but takes a while to match a drop. The conflict in the Persian Gulf has caused a lack of crude supply throughout the world; at one point, oil’s price went up over 50 percent. Barrel costs have gone down, but some of the gas currently sold was refined from the older, more expensive crude. When wholesale prices go down, station owners are also slow to cut costs, hoping to make up for weeks of thin margins. And, of course, they try to draw customers while remaining competitive with the other stations in the area. We landed on the moon decades ago. Why isn’t it easy to do so again? Why are we reinventing the wheel? — Linda Hoza, Lakewood Ranch, Florida Katrina Miller, a science reporter who recently covered NASA’s announcement of the Artemis III crew, answers: The main issue is money. NASA is trying to send humans back to the moon — this time to stay — at a fraction of the cost of the Apollo program. Back then, NASA’s approach to developing rockets and vehicles suitable for a lunar landing was expensive and controlled by the federal government. Now, the agency is relying more on SpaceX and Blue Origin to do much of that work. That’s cheaper, but also more volatile. NASA has less influence over design and timelines, and its lunar aspirations depend on whether those companies can fulfill what some say are overly ambitious promises. PRIMARY NIGHT Mayor Zohran Mamdani Lexi Parra/The New York Times Left-wing candidates had a strong showing in New York, where all three contenders endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their Democratic House primaries last night: One of those candidates, the progressive former city comptroller Brad Lander, ousted an incumbent, Representative Dan Goldman, in a race in which Israel became a top issue. The other two candidates were both democratic socialists: Darializa Avila Chevalier, who defeated Representative Adriano Espaillat, and Claire Valdez, who won the nomination for an open seat. In another closely watched race, Micah Lasher, a state assemblyman, won a crowded primary for a safely Democratic district being vacated by Representative Jerrold Nadler. Its star-studded field included Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy and had prompted nearly $40 million in super PAC spending. Read more about Mamdani as a new kingmaker.

THE LATEST NEWS In the Courts An appeals court ruled that the Trump administration could expedite the deportations of unauthorized immigrants nationwide. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority ruled that a Rastafarian whose dreadlocks were forcibly shaved by prison guards could not sue state officials for money. The court also cleared the way for Exxon Mobil to seek compensation for oil and gas assets that Cuba’s communist government seized in 1960.

Laura Boushnak for The New York Times Istanbul has become an unexpected global capital for tango. There are dance spots and tango schools all over the city. Some even say, perhaps blasphemously, that Istanbul’s tango scene rivals that of Buenos Aires, where the dance was born. That’s surprising in an overwhelmingly Muslim city where social conservatism may clash with the famously steamy dance.

    Heatwave Worldwide

    Europe heat wave Extreme heat is gripping Europe as a powerful heat dome pushes temperatures to triple digits across much of the continent. Hundreds of records have already been shattered, with more expected as the heat intensifies today through Thursday. France, at the epicenter of the extreme conditions, also endured its hottest day on record Tuesday. Read more. THE SCIENCE: Here's what happens to your heart and brain in the heat
  5. War powers In a rare bipartisan move, the Senate on Tuesday voted to limit President Trump's war powers by directing him to remove US military forces from the conflict in Iran. The measure sends a clear signal that many lawmakers remain uneasy about deeper US involvement. President Trump, meanwhile, called the vote "poorly timed and meaningless." Read more.
  6. Housing affordability The dream of homeownership is slipping out of reach for many Americans as housing costs continue to outpace incomes. But relief may be on the way: Congress this week passed the largest housing affordability bill in a generation, designed to increase the number of homes on the market and remove some of the hurdles that have made them so expensive. Here's how it could affect you.

    FIFA men's World Cup 2026

    ⚽ 1 for the road: World Cup scoring spree Data: Zafronix. Chart: Danielle Alberti/Axios The World Cup is producing goals at a pace not seen since 1958. Each match is averaging just over 3 goals so far — 23% more scoring than the same span of games in the last World Cup. AP pinpoints three factors driving the high-scoring games: ⚽ The ball: It's built with deep seams to produce "optimal in-flight stability." Players and coaches say it's flying at goalkeepers at high velocity. ⏱️ Longer games: New hydration breaks have led to more stoppage time, opening up extra scoring chances. 🌎 A bigger tournament: The expanded 48-team format, debuting this year, has widened the talent gap between teams. Go deeper. World Cup restrictions The US government will allow Iran's national team to enter the country two days before its World Cup match against Egypt on Friday, easing previous restrictions. It marks a notable shift after weeks of uncertainty that forced the team to alter its travel plans and navigate visa hurdles tied to broader tensions between Washington and Tehran. Read more.

  8. 📉 Tech stock slump Data: Financial Modeling Prep. Chart: Emily Peck/Axios Investors hit pause on the AI run-up, with chip stocks slumping from their record highs, Axios Markets author Emily Peck writes. Why it matters: We're in a bit of a reality-check moment in the AI buildout — both for businesses blowing their budgets on compute, and for investors bidding up stock prices for any company engaged in the new technology. The tech-focused Nasdaq 100 index slid 3.3% yesterday. The broader S&P 500 closed 1.4% lower, after a selloff in South Korea got investors skittish about the high-flying chip stocks. Keep reading.
  9. Data: Pew Research Center. Chart: Danielle Alberti/Axios New polling shows America's standing abroad is sliding as the Trump administration threatens a wholesale reordering of the trans-Atlantic relationship, Axios' Mike Zapler and Josephine Walker write. Why it matters: Pew's findings, out yesterday, capture how allies increasingly view Washington as unreliable, self-interested and less committed to global cooperation. 🧮 By the numbers: A median of 76% of people across 36 countries have no confidence in Trump, according to Pew. About 57% view the U.S. unfavorably, and around 50% call it an unreliable partner. Among traditional allies, faith in the U.S. as a reliable partner has cratered since 2022 — down 52 points in Sweden, 48 in Canada and 47 in the Netherlands. More on the polling.
  10. 🎬 The Axios Show: Chamath's anti-doomer case AI investor and "All-In" Podcast co-host Chamath Palihapitiya tells Dan Primack on "The Axios Show" that an AI job apocalypse makes for an "incredible headline" but ignores how humans have adapted to past tech shocks. The Social Capital CEO rejected the idea that AI and robotics will wipe out work — even for plumbers. Palihapitiya asks who will run the plumbing business or the robotics company. Humans will still need shelter, food, clothing and, yes, bathrooms. Palihapitiya points to past technological transitions that let humans multiply the number of tasks they do in a day. "I suspect if you just trend it, that 35 things now goes to 300 things over the next thousand years," he said. "There's going to be more ways in which we allocate time." Watch the first clip.
  11. 🗽 Socialist earthquake in NYC Mamdani as kingmaker: House Democrats were stunned last night when two of their colleagues — including the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — lost primaries to left-wing challengers backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Axios' Andrew Solender writes. Why it matters: The New York primary results are expected to double the Democratic Socialists of America bloc in Congress. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) told us: "People who do not support the DSA wring their hands at cocktail parties, while the DSA is organizing." 🔎 Zoom in: Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) lost reelection in a 66% to 34% landslide to progressive former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander. Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), the Hispanic Caucus chair, lost his primary more narrowly to democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier. In the race to succeed retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), democratic socialist state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez scored a double-digit victory over the Brooklyn borough president. Between the lines: Mamdani backed all three winners: Lander, Avila Chevalier and Valdez. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) endorsed Espaillat and Goldman. Keep reading. 👉 The AI race: New York state Assemblyman Micah Lasher won a crowded Democratic primary for the Manhattan congressional seat left open by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler, beating Alex Bores, a state assemblyman and former Palantir employee. Bores helped pass the nation's first major AI-safety law and ran on reining in the industry. The race drew more than $20 million in spending from AI interests. By the numbers: Lasher got 39% and Bores got 35%. Jack Schlossberg, a political novice and grandson of President John F. Kennedy, finished with only 11% of the vote (11,000 votes out of 102,000). Go deeper. 🗳️ More takeaways ... AP results from New York ... Maryland ... South Carolina ... Utah. Elections takeaways Americans across four states cast their votes Tuesday in primaries and runoffs ahead of the November midterm elections. In New York, all three candidates endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their House primaries, including two who defeated incumbents. The wins are being viewed as a sign of Mamdani's growing political influence and his emergence as a key power broker within the Democratic Party. Read more.

  12. Global AI wars Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios. Stock: Getty Images Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen use this "Behind the Curtain" column to synthesize a flurry of news showing the U.S. faces rising AI competition across Asia and Europe: The Five Eyes intelligence alliance issued a rare joint warning this week that frontier AI capable of crippling governments and businesses is close. The fast rise of Chinese and Japanese models helps explain the urgency and fear, officials tell us. Why it matters: Yes, Anthropic's Mythos model is the most cyber-lethal threat in the world. But OpenAI is close here in America. And China and Japan, using much cheaper models, have gotten closer, faster than intelligence agencies anticipated. "The timeline is not years, it is months," Five Eyes warned. Five Eyes, composed of the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is considered the world's most comprehensive and powerful spy network. 🖼️ The big picture: President Trump told Marc Caputo on "The Axios Show" that "we're beating China by a lot" on AI. But that lead, which U.S. leaders and businesses have been banking on, is eroding. Three new disruptions show just how fast it's happening: It's becoming harder to put up a wall around America's advancements. Japan's Sakana AI launched Fugu Ultra, an orchestrator that it claims offers "frontier capability without the risk of export controls" by switching between publicly available models. The Tokyo-based company says it can reach Mythos-level performance by using U.S. labs' work as interchangeable infrastructure. China is eating away at that lead by stealing America's best work. In February, Anthropic accused DeepSeek, Minimax and Moonshot of illicitly training their own models via "distillation," using thousands of accounts to have millions of exchanges with Claude — a cheap shortcut to years of pricey research. American labs are wondering whether the frontier is worth the risk. Two weeks ago, the Commerce Department export-controlled Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5, leading the company to shut off access for everyone. The best domestic AI companies may be wary to show off their highest-capability models, fearing further government intervention. Between the lines: China's open-source models are gaining ground fast. Z.ai's GLM-5.2 is the buzziest right now. An LLM leaderboard by Artificial Analysis, a benchmarking company, puts GLM-5.2 alongside OpenAI's GPT-5.5, at about a fifth of the cost to run. When it comes to coding, Arena's web development ranking has the Chinese model second only to Fable — making it the best-performing model you can actually use right now. Alex Stamos, former Facebook chief security officer, told Axios Future of Cybersecurity's Sam Sabin that it's quite possible the Chinese "have things privately that are really, really good. [It] is arrogant and foolish of us to think that just because we're American that we've got the best stuff." He added that Chinese military hackers are likely "laughing hilariously right now at the Americans fighting between themselves and cutting each other off left and right." 🔭 Zoom out: It's Europe, too. Domyn — an AI company based in Milan, Italy — announced last week that its Europa project is a frontier open-source AI model that will support all 24 official languages of the European Union. Domyn (formerly iGenius, which was described as the Ferrari of AI) collaborated with Nvidia to build Colosseum, billed as Europe's largest AI supercomputer. 👀 What we're watching: The Five Eyes call to action said a "whole-of-society response is required" to respond to the accelerating cyber risk. "Boards and executives should ensure cyber resilience is in place and works under pressure," the bulletin says. "It is not enough to have controls. Leaders must be confident those controls will perform during a real incident. This requires reassessing long-standing trade-offs and using AI deliberately to strengthen defense — not just improve efficiency." The bottom line: America's AI lead is real but shrinking. Every move to protect it only hands rivals another reason to route around it — all while the capabilities that have Five Eyes on edge are already loose, downloadable and impossible to recall. Axios' Shane Savitsky and Sam Sabin contributed reporting.

    Ants

    Airborne Ant Trap Researchers have identified a new Australian spider that catapults its prey into the air with an acceleration roughly 15 times greater than that experienced by jet pilots, according to a study published this week. A two-person team spent 10 nights in the rain forest recording the nocturnal species with high-speed and infrared cameras. The spider spends up to four hours spinning tension lines into a cone on a leaf, branch, or the forest floor. Researchers suspect it releases pheromones to lure green ants—the spider's only prey. When an ant bites the cone, the trap launches the insect nearly a foot into the air in a fraction of a second and into a primary web, where the spider feasts (watch infrared recording). The snare-like contraption is the first known web triggered by the prey rather than the predator and the first designed to target a single species. While the spider has yet to be formally named, it's been coined the ballista spider, after an ancient Roman weapon used to launch stones (watch how it works).

    India

    'Green Boots' Recovery Mission India’s government is soliciting bids for a mission to retrieve the remains of “Green Boots,” a climber who died 30 years ago on Mount Everest. See an image of “Green Boots” here (scroll and use the slider to reveal). In 1996, climbers attempted the first Indian ascent of Everest from the northeast side in Tibet. (Climbing from Nepal's south side is more common, accounting for about 70% of climbs.) Near the summit, the group was hit by the blizzard chronicled in Jon Krakauer’s “Into Thin Air.” Eight people died, including three Indian climbers, of whom only one body has been found. Nicknamed for his lime-colored boots, the body remains on the trail, and DNA has confirmed he is Indian soldier Dorje Morup. India wants the retrieval completed by October, despite poor weather conditions. About 200 bodies remain on Mount Everest. Efforts to retrieve them are dangerous, although some—including “Sleeping Beauty”—have been moved out of sight.
  17. Healthcare Fraud Sweep The Justice Department has charged 455 defendants across 45 states and US territories in a $6.5B healthcare fraud crackdown, which officials described as the largest coordinated enforcement action in its history and the second-largest amount ever charged in a single operation (behind last year’s $14.6B operation). Authorities say the schemes targeted Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs through fraudulent billing, illegal kickbacks, opioid distribution, and telemedicine operations. Those charged include 90 licensed medical professionals, while 295 defendants are tied to over $500M in false Medicaid claims. Investigators also seized more than $127M in cash, vehicles, jewelry, and other assets tied to the alleged fraud. The two-week crackdown comes amid the Trump administration’s antifraud push, with expanded data-sharing efforts across agencies (scroll to see coordinated effort). Experts estimate healthcare fraud costs the US between $100B and $170B annually—roughly 3% to 15% of total healthcare spending. See a dashboard tracking healthcare fraud cases nationwide.

    Atonement

    Ro 5:10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 2Co 5:19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. The word "imputing" is also translated as "counted" and "reckon." Same word used in describing Abraham, "It was counted to him for righteousness." God does not count sin against us because Jesus died for us.
